But not lately.
Lately she has just worn this feather/flower headpieces or simple hair circlets.

So, this is the best hat she has worn since a long time.. simply because it is one of the only REAL hats she has worn for a long time.
(The last time she wore a real hat... must have been may 17th 2007 )

To be honest, I would rather see her in one of her headpieces feather/flower rather than this hat. I remember the May 17, 07 hat, not my cup of tea at all.

I wish we could see it down so we can tell how long (or short) it really is. But having it pulled back with this outfit was the way to go. Otherwise it would interfere with the wonderful neckline of her jacket.

I think it looks nice. Nothing spectacular, but it fits with her overall style. I'm pretty sure she has had this length before. I think back in May of '04. It kind of reminds me of Princess Mathilde but a little more of a blunt cut then Princess Mathilde. I like the simplicity of M-M, she never goes too far outside her comfort zone with her hair or her overall style. Same with Mathilde. But I like them for that reason. They seem to put the focus on more important things and resist feeling the pressure to dazzle like other princesses might. They show strength and confidence in ways that other princesses don't.
